The gi4000 is designed with a standard monopolar receptacle, compatible with 8mm, Bovie
style monopolar active cords.
1. Apply the patient dispersive electrode to the patient per manufacturer instructions for
use.
2. Select Monopolar Method.
3. Verify or select the Monopolar Mode and desired power setting using the Tap-a-
Tool™
software feature or UP/DOWN arrows on the touchscreen.
4. Engage Standby Mode by pressing the standby button on the touchscreen display or
gi4000 footswitch.
5. Attach the patient dispersive electrode to the PSS return receptacle.
6. Attach the monopolar active cord to the monopolar receptacle.
7. Connect compatible monopolar instrument to the monopolar active cord.
8. Insert the monopolar instrument in the endoscope accessory channel.
9. Exit Standby Mode by pressing the touchscreen display or button on the gi4000
footswitch.
10. Confirm settings on touchscreen before proceeding with procedure.
11. Deliver power by engaging the power pedal on the footswitch.
Monopolar Dispersive Electrode
Both the Monopolar Method and the Argon Method are monopolar outputs intended for use
with a patient dispersive electrode. The gi4000 is designed with a standard patient dispersive
electrode connector. If the patient dispersive electrode is not properly attached or engaged,
or if it becomes disconnected during use, or if impedance conditions change to a level outside
the unit's acceptable level during the procedure, the unit is designed to sound an alarm, notify
the user via a message and prevent the system from outputting energy. The dispersive
electrode warning must be corrected for operation to resume.
In order for all safety aspects of the gi4000 Pad Safe System (PSS) to operate, sensing or
'split' models of patient dispersive electrodes must be used. Non-split or non-sensing patient
dispersive electrodes are acceptable if used with proper care.
CAUTION:
The gi4000 Pad Safe System (PSS) will function correctly with contact
quality monitoring (CQM) Sensing/Split dispersive electrodes or Non-Sensing/Non-
Split dispersive electrodes. Other dispersive electrode products may result in patient
or user injury or product damage.

In order for all safety aspects of the gi4000 Pad Safe System (PSS) to
operate, Sensing/Split dispersive electrodes must be used. Non-
Sensing/Non-Split dispersive electrodes are acceptable if used with
proper user care.
→
The PSS will not identify loss of safe contact between the Non-
Sensing/Non-Split dispersive electrode and the patient, thereby failing to
provide an audible alarm which may result in patient or user injury or
product damage.
→
Disposable dispersive electrodes with a Sensing/Split contact surface
allow the gi4000 to monitor the skin contact quality of the electrode
connection. The dual pad design has a small monitoring current that
flows from one side of the electrode over the patient to the other side of
